SHELBOURNE PLAYERS MIPO Odubeko, Sean Gannon, Paddy Barrett and Sam Bone will leave when their contracts expire at the end of the month.
35-year-old Gannon is the League of Ireland’s most decorated player and was instrumental to the Reds’ 2024 title success.

Barrett has had a similarly big impact since joining Shels ahead of the 2023 campaign, making the PFAI Team of the Year in 2024 and 2025, before falling out of favour following John Russell’s arrival as manager earlier this year.
Both Bone and Odubeko signed for the club in 2024, each scoring crucial goals in Europe.
Ex-Man United youngster Odubeko is the only player in Shels’ history to score in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League qualifiers.
Youngsters Murray Johnson, Aaron Maloney and Derin Adewale are also leaving the Tolka Park outfit, as are strength and conditioning coach Mauro Martins and first-team coach James Toner.
James Bailey and Kerr McInroy are likewise out of contract at the end of the month but remain in negotiations with the club.
